Honoree

GV Public Relations was built by people who believe the best hospitality storytelling comes from firsthand experience, not templates. Founded in 2018, the agency has steadily expanded by pairing deep destination knowledge with smart, efficient communications strategies that support hotels, resorts, and food and beverage brands as their markets evolve. Over the past year, GVPR reached its strongest growth phase yet, expanding its salaried team, increasing freelance support, and introducing dedicated social media and digital marketing services to meet growing client demand. New client wins across California and the addition of Boston strengthened the agency’s geographic footprint and reinforced its position in high value hospitality markets. Internally, GVPR invested heavily in technology, workflow tools, and professional development, enabling a highly connected, agile team despite a remote first structure. Travel remains central to the agency’s culture, with team members encouraged to explore destinations personally to inform strategy and storytelling. Alongside client growth, GVPR continues its long standing commitment to community impact through nonprofit partnerships and hands on volunteer work, ensuring purpose remains embedded in how the agency grows and operates.
